Axios: U.S. backing on Gaza won't last much longer, Blinken tells Israeli counterpart
Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday that Israel needs another few days to complete its Gaza operation, but Blinken stressed that the U.S. expects the operation to end soon, an Israeli official tells Axios
What they're saying: In their call, Blinken told Ashkenazi the U.S. was blocking a French initiative at the UN Security Council on Gaza but cannot keep backing Israel publicly and diplomatically, mainly at the UN, for much longer, Israeli officials say.
Why it matters: The call between Blinken and Ashkenazi was part of the intensifying diplomatic squeeze to move toward a ceasefire in Gaza, which Israel is still fending off for now.

A recent post here claimed Texas had had no pandemic deaths for a few months in a row. that is a big lie! Here the truth:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted all COVID-19 restrictions in Texas on March 2. According to data provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services, the state had recorded 46,538 deaths at that point. As of May 18, Texas has reported 49,999 deaths, meaning that according to Texas’ own “COVID-19 Total Fatalities by County” chart, more than 3,400 people have died of COVID-19 since the state removed all restrictions two months ago.
The claim I heard is that they had a few days for the entire state without any deaths. That is significant. It is a large state.
12:35 is a shithole propagandist, who deserves to catch several STDs at once.
Blinkered cannot a stand up to Rashid Tlaib. How is he going to standup to Xi and Putin?
He will stand at half height with his trousers down. I hope Xi and Putin wear protection.
Is is Rashid Tlaib not Rashida Tlaib., because you never correct a Democrat's pronunciation. It would be racists, sexist, bigoted, homophobic or something.
We all know Joe Biden is not demented and he is right. So the proper spelling and pronunciation so Rashid Tlaib.
